AbstractFor much of the 1950s, ROC President Chiang Kai-shek tried to formulate viable "counteroffensive" plans to reclaim mainland China. A main part of this vision was to attract US military sponsorship; for the ROC conspicuously lacked the military strength to reconquer mainland China. However, the formulation of these plans had unintended results for Taiwan. Firstly, the military plans gave Chiang's subordinates an indirect way of stating the impossibility of returning to mainland China, while strenuously proclaiming their loyalty. Secondly, Chiang Kai-shek's admonishment "????" Wu Wang Zai Ju (Forget Not the time at Ju), the clarion call for the ROC's mainland counter offensive, unwittingly promoted a more sedentary form of national identity for the average Taiwanese. Finally, the more Taiwan developed economically by means of US aid, the more the Taiwanese silently distanced themselves from Chiang's Quixotic dream of reclaiming mainland China. Thus, Chiang's leadership in "counteroffensive" planning did more to distance the island state from the mainland than "reclaim" it. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTThis author would like to give heartfelt thanks to Professor Teow See Heng, and reviewers for their comments. Fellow panelists from conferences organized by the Chinese Studies Association of Australia-Sydney (2009) and World History Association-Beijing (2011) had also contributed invaluable suggestions to various drafts of this essay.Notes1.

Taken from the Records of the Grand Historian, it was documented that the Kingdom of Ji was attacked (BC 284) and surrounded by four other countries. Ji was reduced to the county of Ju and Ji Mo. Despite the great setback, General Tian Dan overcame tremendous difficulties and recovered the territories of Ji with just his well-trained militia by counterattacking with ingenious stratagems such as rampaging oxen. For the defenders of the offshore islands, this military posting presented a certain amount of hardship, loneliness, and danger.27.

Though the PRC might be an international pariah, Western countries such as Great Britain openly urged the US to ease trade restrictions with Communist China. This implicitly implied that Communist China was here to stay. In fact, the US National Security Council minutes recorded that "the President repeated his familiar view" that negotiations with allies over the embargo list must not be rigid. If the US refused to empathize with the British economic 'privation', London may join India's 'neutralist position'.

The report tirelessly continued in another sub-section on 'The selection of military targets'. It gave a shortest timeline of one to two years for a counterattack on northern China. The preconditions were allied military aid and military bases in Japan and Korea. In the last option of an independent southern invasion, with or without allied support, it estimated a long grueling three to five years of warfare; ibid.60. Wildly predicting the "imminent collapse of the Soviet government", the report gleefully envisioned that "the oncoming World War cannot be avoided".
